Friday, 2th February 2023 the anniversary of the Ukrainian War which I will not dwell on for the moment. My mind is trapped in being scared, of what? don't laugh, the optician. I hate all those outside good people who attend to my physical needs.
I know my sight is going but am not prepared to visit hospitals for treatment, having been through this with Paul when his eyesight was treated. Getting my family to understand that I am a true scaredy cat over most things has been difficult. Paul understood it, one of the reasons we did not do Japan, he reckoned the sheer size of all the people there rushing around would overwhelm me.
So when the appointment is over, I shall be able to write maybe, though word blocking seems to be a catching disease all over blogland ;)
But one blog cheered me up this morning, both for its lyrical words and photographs. Paul Knight and his son undertake walks high up over the moors. The sight of that boy standing high on a rock looking down into the inverted mist, has his father ever explained the giant shadow that can appear at such times I wonder, made me realise that young life has everything to look forward to.
Exquisite photographs and prose on your recommended blog Thelma. Thank-you= it is many years since I was in that area.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very rugged landscape, and Paul Knight is a naturalist and excellent writer.
DeleteThat boy looks as though he is having a great childhood. I know what you mean about receiving medical attention. I have not had any for about 50 years. I am planning on never having any unless I get hit by a bus, and even then it will be reluctantly.
ReplyDeleteWell if the bus kills you you won't know anyway. But joking aside, it does seem that occasionally wrong treatment and pills and the so called side effects make things worse.
DeleteI was at the eye doctors yesterday and my appointment went well, altho it takes a long time to go through all of the tests. But no great changes so I will see him next year which is good news! Hope your appointment went well, Thelma. Thanks for the link - what amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteTook me two hours of testing and then choosing two pairs of frames and a bank account that is a lot lighter now Ellen. But they were efficient and confirmed what I already knew that my right eye is practically useless, but the other eye is good for the time being. Happy that you got the all clear on your eyes, it is always a relief.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you survived the dreaded visit to the optician's torture chamber. Furthermore, given your hatred for those "outside good people", I hope you did not attack him/her with a cricket bat or indeed a heavy handbag containing lady things.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I did enjoy the link. Thanks for sending me there.
DeleteTwo hours in the optician with the most delightfully well mannered people. My daughter went out the other evening with a young friend and her boyfriend, he is studying to be an eye specialist. It looks like 13 years of learning, now that is dedication.
DeleteThanks for the link - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you both enjoyed it.
